4theTop XB8 2017 carbon fibre brake conversion kit

Coming from 4theTop and made for Xray’s XB8 2017 buggy is a carbon fibre brake conversion kit. It includes a ball-raced carbon fibre centre differential plate for better and more consistent braking as well as a set of carbon fibre brake discs. Their design in combination with the material used will make for less centre diff fading as the diff case and thus the diff oil will stay cooler even during long finals, resulting in improved overall performance. On top of this will the brake action fade less, again making for a more consistent car over the run.

RDRP B6-series C & D aluminium arm mounts

Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced their new C and D aluminium arm mounts for the Team Associated B6 and B6D 2WD buggies. The suspension hangers are direct replacements for the kit’s aluminium C and composite D parts and they add valuable toughness especially when running in demanding track conditions or when competing in modified classes. Machined from aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminium and coming in either black or blue anodising the parts also add visual impact. With their lightweight yet sturdy construction the mounts, which are available separately, hardly add any weight meaning the buggy’s weight bias does not change and they are a direct fit on both the B6 and B6D when using Team Associated’s #92014 suspension inserts.

Quentin Leroux wins French 200mm Nationals Rd3

This past weekend the third round of the French 200mm national championship was held at the Limoges track. The event started off on Friday with pleasant weather, but come Saturday things got complicated as heavy rain interrupted the qualifying and only one dry round could be completed although under totally different grip conditions compared to Friday. The last two qualifying rounds were then postponed to Sunday morning but they were still ran in low grip conditions. The qualifying results would see Kevin Rasquin taking the TQ honours with his Capricorn, followed by the other Capricorns of Quentin Leroux and Guillon Thomas, with Shepherd’s Concialdi Basile in fourth. For the main final the track offered improved grip conditions thanks to the running of the lower finals. In the opening stages of the 45-minute main final Quentin Leroux took over the lead and he never looked back to take the win some three laps ahead of Kevin Rasquin who was in a fight with Michael Derderian (Xray). Thomas Guillon as also in the mix for the 2nd place but a broken engine meant a DNF for him.
